to myself

I'm a week into house sitting.  It's almost the weekend and soon I'll be back to my 'regular' routine.  Because I don't have a bike and it takes a lot of transfers to get over to my part of town, I've been hanging out a lot with the dog as well as myself. The past few days I've found myself sulking as I've thought about different parts of my life.  A lot of it has been to do with relationships. & I mean this in the general sense, my relationship to the things that are going on, with others, relationships that may need to be reconciled or let go.  Preparation for Haifa has so far been less about giving away physical things, and more about cleaning out mental blocks that have accrued over the years. I want to leave here with as little baggage as possible.  Some things are already starting to feel complete as I start to receive sincere smiles, goodbyes, and inquiries about what's next. It's coming together, I just pray for detachment and the ability to receive the next part of the journey with an empty cup.
